Dicionário Recomendado


No início dos meus estudos de língua inglesa, o dicionário que usei e que recomendo foi Oxford Escolar - para estudantes brasileiros de inglês. Trata-se de um dicionário muito rico e com aplicações das palavras em frases baseadas na fala de nativos. 

Portanto, fica a dica!!!

Class Number 01 - Introductions


Aula 01 - Básico A - Introductions. 

A primeira coisa que devemos aprender quando estudamos um outro idioma é como se apresentar, pois a maioria das conversas se iniciam com esse evento como ponto de partida. Portanto, na aula número 01 aprendemos questões relacionadas as apresentações. O que aprendemos aqui trata-se de um modelo generalizado, porém a conversa pode seguir vários rumos diferentes.

The first thing we should learn when we study another language is how to introduce ouselves, for most conversations have this event as the starting point. Therefore, in the class number 01 we learn issues related to introductions. What we are learning here is just a general model, but the conversation may take several different directions.
